UPDATE: Coils installed! First of all much thanks to Wrenchwerks for the installation, Ben@p2spec for the coils, and rs5mark for his brain!
Well pictures say a thousand words so here they are first. Pardon large file size/cellphone picture
Here they are installed. Installed them basically all the way down on all four corners just to see how they'll sit. Will definitely be raising at least the rears to fit my new wheels...
Intial Ride Impressions:
Anyone who lives in hawaii knows how terrible our roads are... especially around Wrench Werks lol. That being said, I ventured out to test drive with the coils dropped all the way to the ground. It was amazing. Essentially feels just slightly stiffer than stock, still absorbing all the imperfections in the road perfectly. The car maintains it's sporty nature at this ride height without being harsh at all. Definitely an amazing coilover for the street, and I suspect that it will serve well on the track as well.
I'll definitely update impressions after the coils get settled and I'm set at my final ride height with my wheels.
tl;dr
Amazing coils, amazing ride quality, won't slam to the ground for those looking to be destroying their front bumpers
SHOULD I KEEP MY MUD GUARDS?!

Well after a bunch of deliberation I decided to give the ST coilovers a shot. I'll edit this post with a review when they're in and installed along with my new wheels . Just putting up a placeholder post for now. Been reading the few people that have made reviews about the ST coils and they seem to fit what i'm looking for perfectly. Can't wait to get them installed!
Thanks ben@p2spec for the assistance!
Well since this is the wheel/tire/suspension thread, what kind of tires do you guys recommend for a 9" 38et in the rear? I know it's kind of pushing it, but there are people with way crazier offsets than that lol. Alot of people stretch 225's on a 9.5", not sure if that will give me enough stretch on a 9" to clear my fenders.
Front's are 8" 38. decided on 215/40 for the fronts... i think i'll be ok. What do you guys think?
Any help would be appreciated
